JOB HUNTERS LAY SIEGE TO COUNTY POSTS

Thousands File Requests for Handful of Posts to Be Filled. BY HAROI.D LA POLT Tints staff Writer A horde of political office seeker*, coupled with a dearth of positions, presents to Marlon county officialseleet an unprecedented problem that Is causing Democratic party big-wigs sleepless nights and incurable headaches. Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen quickly will visualize the situation when they are told Otto Ray. Democratic sheriff-elect, will not enjoy his Thanksgiving turkey because he has 1.700 applicants for thirty-four positloas. About the same ratio is found in the flies of other successful nominees who will take office Jan 1. Although the Democrats in the November election elected their complete county ticket, with the exception of Edward Resener, county councilman, most of the successful candidates were re-elected to positions they now occupy. The re-elected officials, from superior court judges to those holding minor positions, feel content, in the main, with their present staffs, and few’ changes may be anticipated in the courthouse family when the new year and new officials arrive. Four years ago the Democrats found more opportunities to place the faithful in appropriate berths. Openings Are Limited This year, opportunities to place deserving party workers appear to be limited to four county offices—the sheriff, prosecutor, surveyor and Center township assessor. While a full complement of superior judges was elected this year, only two new faces will appear on courtroom benches. Joseph Marker will ascend the bench in Room 1 when Judge John W. Kern takes over the duties of mayor. Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson will succeed Judge Russell J. Ryan m Room 5. This means that out of the balloting for the county judiciary I there are only two permanent positions open, as county Clerk Glenn B. Ralston, who also is circuit court clerk, has the naming of court clerks. Mr. Ralston has been reelected. and it is said he contemplates no extensive changes m his official staff. fleckler to Retain Staff In juvenile court. Judge John F. Geckler will enter upon anew term. There is every reason to believe Judge Geckler is satisfied with his present personnel and that few, if any. changrs are to be made. While Frank E McKinney was elected county treasurer to succeed' Timothy P. Sexton, he will not take office until January, 1336. This fact i also complicates the job of political Job distributors. No important chang’s are to be expected in the treasurer's office until Mr. McKinney takes office. Judge-elect Wilson has named Herman Backemeyer as bailiff, a po cn Mr. Backemeyer now holds 1 in.d r a, pomtment of Judge Ryan. Important changes are expected, to be made in the offices of Sheriff- j elect Ray and Prosecutor Herbert j Spencer. It is fairly certain that Ralph L. Hitch, now chief deputy sheriff under Sheriff Charles L. <Buck‘ Sumner will leave the county service to accept another public position, probably with the new city administration. If Mr. Ray has made up his mind on Mr. Hitch's successor, he has let no one in on the secret. Prosecutor-elect Spencer has filled , four of twenty-nine positions. ; Shortly after election. Mr. Spencer j named Oscar Hagcmier. grand jury deputy under Prosecutor Wilson, as his chief deputy to succeed Floyd J. Mattice. who will return to the practice and teaching of law. He also promoted Edward C. Brennan, now deputy city prosecutor, to the position of deputy prosecutor on his personal staff. Mr. Spencer named Henry’ O.

Goett, present city clerk, as his grand jury deputy to replace Mr. Hagcmier. John F. Cunningham, Center township assessor-elect, will have twenty-two regular appointments to make. Mr. Cunningham also will be able to name special assistants to serve on a temporary basis. Mr. Cunningham has not reached the point in his consideration of applicants where he can make announcements of choices. The only other spot where patronage distributors may look for places in which to locate deserving workers is in the office of county surveyor, in which Herbert E. Bloemkcr will have a half dozen posts to be filled. How to satisfy the daily increasing list of job seekers, now well over 3.000. is a problem of Democratic political leaders that will not contribute to the Thanksgiving appetite.

MILK DISPUTE ENDS; PRICE TO BE STABILIZED Cost Delivered in Homes to Be 10 Cents, Counter Sales 9. With the agreement of Indianapolis distributors to pay milk producers $1.67 >2 a hundred pounds for 4 per cent milk on a flat rate basis, the price to consumer probably will be stabilized this week-end at 9 cents over the counter and 10 cents a delivered quart. Distributors and producers last night in the Columbia Club approved the agreement reached by their representatives in a conference Monday at the offices of the Indianapolis Dairy Products council. The agreement calls for the abandonment of the old base and surplus plan, and raises by 2!z cents a hundred pounds the price dis-
